METHOD FOR PROTECTING CULTURAL ASSETS, ETC., FROM EARTHQUAKE DISASTER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for protecting small-size and large-size cultural assets, etc., not only from direct damage such as tumble due to an earthquake but from secondary damage such as fall of a foreign material from the upward by the earthquake or vibration by the earthquake. SOLUTION: Storage boxes 10 are disposed and fixed to the both sides of the exhibited cultural asset 18, flexible noncombustible bags 28 are folded and stored therein, and freely opened/closed doors 22 are attached to the boxes. The respective noncombustible bags 28 have some extent of shape, and when a detector is operated by the occurrence of the earthquake and noncombustible gas instantaneously fills the bags 28, the bags wrap the cultural asset 18 from the circumference to prevent it from tumbling, and at the same time, cover the upper part of the cultural assets 18 so as to protect it not only from the direct damage by the earthquake but also from the secondary damage caused by the fall of the foreign material from the upper part. As for the large-size cultural asset 18, the bag 28 fixes it from the foot to the waist to prevent the damage from the tumbling and at the same time the flexibility of the bag 28 prevents the secondary damage due to the vibration by the earthquake.
